From the article: By trying to help the officers, Keen, Roundtree and Dodson showed, in the eyes of many, that they are not "authentically black." They are traitors to their race.

Let's look at this more closely, shall we? This attitude indicates that those who feel this way consider themselves AT WAR with the police. Why would they consider the police the enemy? Because they consider that the police protect white America against black crime.

The media don't want people to go and examine this attitude too deeply.

So much for judging a man not based on the color of his skin, but on the content of his character.

Race issues have really gotten better since Obama was elected, hasn’t it?
